Siegwerk, Borouge and TPN Food Packaging (TPN) have jointly introduced a recyclable mono-material barrier packaging solution in Thailand, aimed at packaging oxygen-sensitive dry goods including nuts and pet food.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The development combines Borouge\u2019s polyethylene grades, Siegwerk\u2019s barrier and de-inking coatings, and TPN\u2019s printing experience.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The pouch is produced with a triplex laminate structure, making use of Borouge\u2019s Borstar FB5600 high-density polyethylene and Anteo sealant film.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Siegwerk\u2019s CIRKIT OXYBAR BC1582 coating reduces oxygen transmission, while its CIRKIT CLEARPRIME coating enables de-inking to recover recycled polyethylene of higher quality.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

TPN contributed to the partnership through its rotogravure printing, with the MDO-PE printing layer providing stiffness and flatness at line speeds of around 200 metres per minute.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Siegwerk Thailand head of brand owner collaboration and sustainability for Southeast Asia Stephane Bertaux stated: \u201cThis development is a great example of how collaboration between different areas of expertise and knowledge can achieve the production of high-performance mono-material packaging that is de-inkable and fully recyclable.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis project demonstrates how cross-industry collaboration can produce scaleable, sustainable packaging solutions.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The pouch records an oxygen transmission rate of below 1cc\/m\u00b2\/day at 23\u00b0C and 50% relative humidity, comparable with metallised PET.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The solution is designed to act as a substitute for multi-material laminates, while allowing recyclability through de-inking and producing uncoloured polyethylene feedstock for reuse.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Borouge circular economy and packaging, global marketing vice-president Anton Wolfsberger stated: \u201cThis collaboration brings together material science, ink innovation and manufacturing excellence to deliver a mono-material solution that is fully recyclable and de-inkable.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt supports our customers in creating packaging that is not only high-performing but also designed for a circular economy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
